With a Shimmy and a Smile

elva

You'll be the bee's knees AND the cat's pajamas in this fun flapper-inspired style. When I found a hand-beaded bow appliqué at the flea market a few years ago, I knew it could be something wonderful, but it took some time (years, evidently) to bring the vision to life. After hand-stitching a felt backing to the vintage bow (that likely originated as part of some beautiful cocktail gown with its faux pearls and tiny glass seed beads) it now fits fabulously at the side of three strands of costume pearls. With a shimmy and a smile, you'll be on your way to dance the night away, beaded swinging fringe and all...even if only in your own living room with a glass of bubbles. (I may know a thing or two about living-room dancing and bubbles. It's a thing. And it is fantastic.) Necklace measures 18" shortest strand, bow measures 5" length and width.
